Synopsis: A widowed and unemployed New England journalist decides to dig into a very cold case, in this novel that &“zips along like a well-tuned snowmobile&” (Anne Hillerman, New York Times–bestselling author of Lost Birds). Isabel Long has had a bad year. Her husband died unexpectedly, and she lost her longtime job as editor-in-chief of a newspaper. Living with her ninety-two-year-old mother and having some time on her hands, Isabel decides to investigate a cold case—her first big story as an independent reporter—about a woman who disappeared twenty-eight years ago in her small western Massachusetts town. To research further—and to make ends meet—she takes a job at the local watering hole, where she can get up close and personal with those connected to the mystery. But getting too close to the truth can be dangerous . . . As a journalist, Isabel never gave up on a story. Now, as an amateur private investigator, she&’s not about to go down without a fight, no matter the cost . . . &“A savvy and appealing protagonist.&” —Frederick Reiken, author of Day for Night &“A well crafted story with the perfect amount of tension, suspense and delicious intrigue.&” —Joy Norstrom, author of Out of Play &“Will keep you guessing right to the end.&” —Susan Roebuck, author of Rising Tide
